LONG BLOG

A rare glimpse behind the scenes of where bosses come to learn their trade - I mean they must all learn it from somewhere, right? Somebody obviously must be teaching them all these conventions and contrived tropes.... why else would they lose so often?

---------------------------------------------------------------

This was pretty much the first idea that came to mind when I thought of what a Boss means, I'd liked the behind the scenes topic from a couple of months back but never managed to put an idea together for that but I kind of felt as though it was one of the often overlooked aspects of being a boss - where they actually learn to be a boss, and where the concepts and conventions that define a boss come from. Also, it's kind of fourth-wall breaky.

About Panzadolphin56one of us since 9:54 AM on 05.06.2011

Oh hey!

I'm former male model and celebrity nutritionist Panzadolphin56. This is my blog. I write things here.

...in case the blog bit didn't give that away.

Anyway! To the left you'll find my latest blogs, and beneath this you'll find a fairly comprehensive list of most of what I've written over the years (unfortunately some stuff does eventually get bumped off the list.)

I like to write from a fairly critical standpoint about games, usually analysis or talking about issues that interest me, I also do retrospectives from time to time, talk about games I've been playing, write the funny things that come into my head, and very occasionally do some crappy art.

I hope you enjoy what you read!

I also do Lets Plays (mostly old horror games) so if that's your thing then click here:

I am mostly a story person, good mechanics are good mechanics but button pressing never does anything for me. I like Horror, I like Cyberpunk, I like Neo-Noir (especially crossed with Cyberpunk), I like good art and good writing, I like games that cut against the grain or choose to challenge social or industry norms in some way.

I don't have a single favourite game but I am a big fan of the MGS games, Snatcher, the Forbidden Siren series, Silent Hill 2, the old-school Resident Evils, Advance Wars and Power Dolls, among many, many others.
